A Photo A Day - No. 214

Legless LizardNot entirely a true name because they do have tiny legs as you can seebut they don't use them and move in a snake-like way.People often mistake them for snakes but these are harmless!This fellow was asleep under a rock that I disturbed while weeding.

Garden Layout

I live in a rural township in the dry Mid North of South
Australia on three town blocks giving us a total of half an acre.
We endure extremely hot and dry summers only to be greeted with frosty
mornings during our increasingly dry winter months.
Despite this harsh climate we manage to grow much of our own food.
Water is scarce and many measures are taken to utilise every drop we
have.
Our garden beds are shaded (during summer), heavily mulched, humus rich
and most are now converted to wicking worm beds. With qualifications in both Horticulture and Permaculture I have fun experimenting with different ways to grow our food!
